Hi all,
Thanks for having me here, I am writing from Windsor, Canada, which is south of the USA (South Detroit)!
Love bbq, mainly with propane and propane accessories, BUT after a pilgrimage to Austin, and a shortly thereafter global lockdown (plus an upcoming bday), I am getting a smoker as a gift :)
After weighing the top "mid_range" smokers quite carefully (I hope), I went for the;
Dyna-Glo Signature series Compact
YES Canadian prices suck eh!
Anyways, thinking of these mods, and please would love all guidance.
First stage (at assembly)
Seal CC and FB, stack, even legs?
This is the best vid I seem to have viewed:
Use this: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/permatex-red-high-temperature-rtv-gasket-maker-0383784p.html
But he's got a gasket around the stack?
Also thinking of Nomex/lavalock gasket for the CC to start with. I've heard firebox just is too hot for gasket?
How do I know how wide a gasket to choose?
Sorry for the lengthiness, I am trying to get all the mods prior to picking up the smoker!!!
Second stage and beyond-
Tuning plates, possibly toggle clamps if needed
Thanks again Eh!
